Y = 3x + 4
y = 3x + 7
3x + 4 = 3x + 7
3x - 3x = 7 - 4
0 = 3.....incorrect....this system has no solutions because ur lines are parallel and they never cross.
or look at it this way..
y = 3x + 4
y = 3x + 7
both have slopes of 3...but the y intercepts are different......when this happens, it means the lines are parallel with no solution
Answer:
a+B=c. x+8=17. x+8-8=17-8.
x=9
